..... I'M JUST SAYING.
Pretty sure this was the exact control panel my mom's 80s Ford Econoline van had.
For our younger audience: this is from when the show Cheers was popular, that's why there's a "Norm" setting.
That seems so GM
Admitely the better solution than the more modern featureless knob you have to look where it currently was.
That or a knob where you feel the position.
Yup. You can move the levers to one extreme and blindly gauge where it's supposed to be. Also: each of these things provide additional feedback (fan direction, speed, etc) so you don't even need to memorize detents or positions for stuff.
I will say that the temp lever, over time, gets very sticky and hard to move. Other than that: it's good design.
